Bottle: Poured an amber brew with a nice thick head with lasting retention. Aroma is sweet with some nice hops mix. Taste is quite dry and bitter but with a hint of sweetness that is very enjoyable. Overall, this is very good beer and a good example of the IPA style.

Extra black with no head. Very inky. Big, salty, roasty aroma with light chocolate and some molasses. Fruity, whiskeyish palate with chocolate and nut accents. Quite a bit of complexity and I dig the inkiness.8-4-8-4-16 = 4.0
Original rating (March 2004): Dark molasses brown. Roasty aroma with Belgian milk chocolate, macadamia nuts…rich and decadent. Body is sweet, treacly, with hints of black chocolate and slightly stinging roast. Long, bitter coffee finish teeters on the edge of astringency. Black malt acidity comes in late. 9-4-7-3-14 = 3.7

Dark amber. Bright. Slightly charcoaly aroma with some rotten orange, lavash, sesame seeds - like a fresh bagel from Rue St-Viateur. Warm toffee malts - well orchestrated - fully malty with a moderately long finish.

Dark golden amber. Slightly earthy, limey aroma with hints of caramel, dark bread. Moderate bitterness, chewy caramel malts. Well-balanced, lingering tangerine, maple glaze. A touch light for my tastes.

Wow! Lots of hops and citrus in the nose, very floral indeed. Red in colour wuith a foamy white head. Fresh malts, and grapefruits complement the intense hops. This is brewed by Bieropholie at the Express Broue in St. Eustache... Looking forward to taste their new creations. a new contender in QC!

Deep brown in colour with a nice moka head. Caramel and chocolate aroma. Verry nutty mouthfeel, with chocolate and alcool. Nice chocolate bitterness. However, I would have to say this tastes like a fine nut brown. But definetely worth the taste.

Deep black brew with a very strong and distinctive smoke taste. Roated coffee taste wioth a light bitterness taste at the end. The smoke taste is little too present for my taste but overall a good beer. Merci Bièropholie for trying something different.

Almost fully black...dark brown with nice ruby highlights when held up to a light. Thin light brown head tops the beer nicely. Strong smoked essence with a bit of tobacco, roasted malt as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong smokey flavour with a good roasted malt characteristic. Overall, a good beer, definately worth a try! I sampled this beer at Joey_Capps' on 13-September-2003 in Hamilton, Ontario.

Ebony, with some brown highlights. Toasty, nutty, woody aroma with slight roast and phenol. Full body, with a fat tang and long, roasty flavours. Ample hop bitterness carries all this malty goodness. A whiff of smoke in the finish. Pretty damn good.
